How is this a “smart move”? Do you support a law that allows arrest on a crime you have not committed? For a crime that needs only be assumed?
This follows a disturbing precedent set in UK and US that are now be reviewed as human rights violations. In fact that discussion has already started here in Denmark.

And Charlie, i agree with your second point on Danish renewable initiatives, but find it impossible to see how you use these as justification. Dumbfounded if that’s actually your argument.

Meme, your comments in IGHH you have an unmatched history of baseless off-the-topic rhetoric.
One quick point (yes you’ve sucked me in to your blah, i’m weak) . “Climategate” may give you fodder for a week or so. (remember when Obama wasn’t a citizen? That was an entertaining media week too.) However, realize that why the US newsertainment stations reach for ratings during sweeps week with contrived controversy, the rest of the world is preparing for the most important global meetings since WWII. The world could careless about this and the Inhoff true squad, they are much more consumed by taking action that science deems necessary to curb climate change.

Meme Mine -

“The New Green, comprised of responsible environmentalists who came to their senses and joined with fellow humans”

This is the most disingenuous, inciting, and mean spirited attempt at misinformation I have seen in a while from a denialista.

In environmentalism, as in any ideology, a split of left vs. right always develops. We see this now as more and more public support is lost for this post ClimateGate CO2 phobia.

Since the threat of climate change is death, this fear can’t possibly be sustainable much longer so look for the unavoidable civil war in the green world.

The right side of environmentalism will very soon be comprised of the old school Greenzis who had clung to the “death by CO2 myth” and the other side of the coin will be the new left-progressive side, The New Green, comprised of responsible environmentalists who came to their senses and joined with fellow humans on Earth to preserve, protect and respect nature and to face the progress of the future with optimism and courage. Not fear, sacrifice and denying our children their futures.

It reminds me of an old song “creating criminals to create employment” – and who is being employed? Those who are ready to work for the tyranny of a corrupt government,in which of course they are pushing for an international police state.

It’s not environmentalists that have the voice. Global warming is a promoted by those in power to show that the West would be justified in taking complete comtrol of the world since political powers can’t come to terms with climate change. If we don’t our survival is at risk. And what a better way to get the world to bend to the will of the West than to hoard the oil beneath the ice in the antarctic and bombargo everyone else. That’s when the Middle East’s wells run dry and the ice free summers allow easier access into Antartica, the climate purposely warmed up from the start to enable this. Of course the disarmament of nuclear weapons is a big issue. This will be at the centre of the media over the next few years, guarenteed. If not then another big blow to the antartic may mean the extinction of an entire planet and not a bunch of dinosaurs. Oh but they’ve found water on Mars now. Yeah, sure thing!

It is sad to see clubs, tasers, tear gas and other methods used against protesters.

While the governments in charge may possess different levels of legitimacy, these tools are used at the UCLA regents’ meeting, on the campus of UC Berkeley (both California, USA), Tehran, London at the G-8 (which led to the death of bystander at the hands of sadistic, irresponsible police), undercover cops inciting violence in Quebec City.

I don’t condone the tactics of violence-oriented anarchists, and think some great points were raised by critiques of their activities; but authorities increasingly are criminalizing dissent all over the world.
